Was there a sale that month or what??? We gifted them out and now I am down to 1 crock pot. It's only a 3 1/2 quart one but I suppose it would work ok. Anyway, I love the pot roast!

I don't really eat dessert so my crockpot cookery focus on soups, stews, and rice milk (which I just recently discovered how to do!).draiodoirmnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971603444368594248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-1148061395481216012006-05-19T10:56:00.000-07:002006-05-19T10:56:00.000-07:00No slow-cooker adventures to speak of, but I'm dro...No slow-cooker adventures to speak of, but I'm drooling over those neatballs!couscouscaboosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055378429711951778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-1148057773222563702006-05-19T09:56:00.000-07:002006-05-19T09:56:00.000-07:00Hi, Starla!

I believe that is what I took the pictures of. In the next one, the Oct/Nov 03 issue is a recipe using the "neatballs" for an Italian bean soup.<BR/><BR/>In the Feb/March 04 issue is a persian recipe using the "neatballs" in a creamy sauce. And in the Jan/Feb/Mar 06 issue is a recipe for Italian "neatballs" in sauce.<BR/><BR/>"Spice island vegan" also developed a vegan Albondigas soup using these, which she shared with us, but it's not in the newsletter-- I might add it next time as a Readers' Recipe, which we haven't had for a while.<BR/><BR/>And I have a recipe with a chipotle sauce that I want to use in the newsletter sometime, too.<BR/><BR/>To cook any of these recipes in a slow-cooker, cook on low for about 3 hours.Bryanna Clark Groganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235333928055873948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-1148049515929937092006-05-19T07:38:00.000-07:002006-05-19T07:38:00.000-07:00Bryanna: Do you know what issue the crockpot "mea...Bryanna: Do you know what issue the crockpot "meatballs" are featured in?

We make a big batch of old-fashioned molasses "baked" beans at least once every couple of weeks in the summer - great with barbequed potatoes and fresh-from-the-garden veggies! We spend our summers in our very low-tech cottage, which gets very warm very quickly, so the slow-cooker is wonderful to have there. On really hot days, I've been known to plug it in outside on the deck!veganmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14323156577096610299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-1148039369859150632006-05-19T04:49:00.000-07:002006-05-19T04:49:00.000-07:00I used my slow cooker a lot last summer when my ov...I used my slow cooker a lot last summer when my oven was on the fritz ... I actually didn't realize how much I use my oven until I didn't have it!<BR/><BR/>I have a fairly new Rival as well, Bryanna, and I agree it does get rather hot. I've been cooking everything on the low setting and it seems to work fine, but I still like to be around to keep an eye on it [which kind of defeats the purpose!]. I also find that foods are usually cooked sooner than most recipes suggest.<BR/><BR/>Not long ago, I read that you can make yeast breads in a slow cooker. Did you know that? I was amazed! Apparently, a slow cooker is similar to the way a bread machine bakes. I have a few recipes for crockpot yeast breads, but I haven't tried them yet. I am very tempted though!<BR/><BR/>Shona :)Seònahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01502346692103967405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24141461.post-1148010288845530702006-05-18T20:44:00.000-07:002006-05-18T20:44:00.000-07:00Great eatin's there, Bryanna!!!
